New Lebanon Town Board Action
Concern About “Industrial Creep” In New Lebanon
by Thaddeus Flint
The public largely chose to skip the August 11 public hearing on a zoning law amendment preceding New Lebanon’s monthly Town Board meeting and now there is new zoning law amendment.
The matter had come up before. At a June public hearing on the amendment, the Town Hall was filled and it wasn’t because the Townspeople had taken the night off to laud small changes to the zoning law. The section of the amendment on allowing Small Business Operations to manufacture goods in the Commercial Zones and not just the Industrial Zone of the Town had some residents worried. Without the correct wording the Town might be exposed to future industrial creep. The Board, at that meeting, more or less agreed with the objections of the public and sent Chairman Ted Salem and the rest of the Zoning Re-Write Committee back to re-write the re-write.
